Hello to all young hockey players aspiring to make it to the show! I’m Mike Sgroi. If anyone has knowledge of what it takes to play professional hockey, or what competitive and pro hockey life is like, or what different routes to the NHL exist, it’s me. Besides playing on 28 different professional teams, I was considered to be one of the hardest working players, willing to do what the next guy wasn’t willing to do to make any hockey team. There is more to being successful in hockey than just the skills you show on the ice; the behavior, attitude, and leadership off the ice is of paramount importance as I have found out through innumerable experiences….
My Professional Hockey Career
In my pro hockey life, I played 200 AHL games and was brought up to the Detroit Red Wings in seasons 2000-2001, 2002-2003, and 2203-2004.
How I Made It To Professional Hockey Leagues
I was born in the Toronto area and began playing hockey.
More to come…
Ummm, Mike Sgroi, you played on 28 non-NFL teams, dude. Not a huge accomplishment.
